Constitution, Article VII
Current version: The Executive Committee consists of the President, President-Elect, Past President, senior Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Secretary and Treasurer are ex officio members without vote.
Proposed version: The Executive Committee consists of the President, President-Elect, Past President, senior Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Secretary is an ex officio member without vote.
